I have spent the past two months methodically reviewing, test-driving, and evaluating vehicles that I would consider appropriate for a growing family. I narrowed the choice down to the following four vehicles: Honda CR-V, Honda Odyssey, Subaru Outback, and Kia Sorento. The CR-V sounded so noisy on the test drives and the interior seemed a bit cheap in comparison to the other vehicles so it fell off the list. The Oddessey had a great ride, but the price was pushing 36,000 or higher out the door. I pained over the remaining two, and after reading all the customer reviews available I ruled out the Kia Sorento because of miscellaneous reported problems. Over the next year I plan to write 3 reviews

Needed to downsize from a Nissan Pathfinder. The Outback was the best choice for great gas mileage, ample storage space, luminous rear leg room for the kids, large rear trunk space for dogs, and almost the same ground clearance (0.2" difference) as the Pathfinder, (Outer Banks beach driving). Very happy with our decision, and looked a multiple vehicles (Toyota, Honda, Ford, Hyundai).

My 2011 outback has almost 36,000 miles. Several pieces of plastic have broken on the interior--all covered on the warranty. But now I that I have reached the millage limit, I may be on the hook for these irksome repairs. Also, the battery hold down bars are corroding. I brought it up to the dealer, and the technician acted as if it was a mystery, and nothing to worry about. However, my 2004 legacy must've had the same problem, as the battery holder corroded completely and needed replacement after about 60,000 miles. That cost me almost $200 at the dealer! That's all to report for now.
Goes, and goes, and goes...

We bought our Outback used with 135,000 miles July 4th, 2016.. After 5 1/2, years I wrote, "Still going at 240,000 miles in good condition. The onesignificant thing that's quit working is the driver's seat. It's gotten very flat, won't recline up anymore, and the controls don't always function." Now, after 7 1/2 years and 266,600 miles, the driver's seat is completely unadjustable. We know it needs wiring work underneath it or it needs to be replaced. It fits the three of us who drive it with just a pillow,so we don't consider that a big issue daily. The passenger side of the front bumper cracked a and won't hold the fog light up anymore and that side panel was damaged in an accident. The one scary problem is the electrical system under the console cought fire six months ago.

The outback has had a few recalls from 2011 but one item they chose to save money versus doing a recall is the torque converter. Knowing it's a problem and an expensive one they chose to extend the warranty to 100K versus fixing the problem on their torque converters. Which is great until the car becomes too unsafe to drive at 120K. But give SOA a call they will tell sorry you should have know not to buy a Subaru with over 100K. Nice job SOA, words are nice but actions tell the story.
